and between Elmer Manatowa, Principal Chief, acting for and on behalf of the

State of Oklahoma. 

WITNESSETH: 

INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS 

1. That the Sac and Fox Nation, acting through its duly constituted 

authorities, and City of Stroud, acting through its duly constituted 

authorities, hereby enter into the following cooperative agreement for the 

purpose of providing better and more efficient law enforcement services for 

all persons and taxpayers within Stroud, Oklahoma and the tribal 

jurisdictional areas therein. 

2. That the parties have determined that a cooperative effort to 

provide law enforcement services are in the best interests of the taxpayers 

and residents of their respective jurisdictions whether Indian or non-Indians, 

in that available resources can be shared and duplication of services can be 

avoided. Both parties agree that their cooperation under this agreement is 

intended to provide better law enforcement services to, and sound fiscal 

management of available resources for, their respective citizens and 

taxpayers. 

PROVISIONS RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS 

3. That the City of Stroud agrees to issue Peace Officer of Police 

Commissions as may be determined appropriate by the City of Stroud to all 

Enforcement Division Tribal Police Officers, and the Sac and Fox Nation agrees 

that its qualified, commissioned law enforcement officers will receive such 

commissions. Such officers shall be referred to herein as "Cross-commissioned 

Officers." Further, the City of Stroud agrees that it will sponsor tribal law 

enforcement officers in need of additional training for qualification and 

commissioning by the City of Stroud, to attend a suitable recognized training 

program or school which will provide the training necessary for such officers 

to receive a commission from the City of Stroud, all without cost to the City 

of Stroud. 

4. The Sac and Fox Nation agrees to issue Special Tribal Police Officer 

Commissions to all commissioned officers of the City of Stroud who are on 

regular active duty and who are otherwise qualified to receive said 

commissions by reason of their training and experience, and the City of Stroud 

agrees that qualified commissioned law enforcement officers will receive such 
City-Tribal Law Enforcement Services Agreement 

commissions. Such officers shall be referred to herein as "Cross-commissioned 

officers". Further, the Nation agrees that it will sponsor regular active 

duty officers of the City of Stroud in need of additional training for 

qualification and commissioning as Special Tribal Police Officers by the Sac 

and Fox Nation, to attend a suitable recognized training program or school 

which will provide the training necessary for such officers to receive a 

commission from the Sac and Fox Nation, all without cost to the Sac and Fox 

Nation. 

5. In the event that either party does not wish to issue a commission 

to any particular officer employed by the other party, the parties agree to 

work together, at the highest level, to arrive at a mutually satisfactory 

resolution of the situation. 

6. The parties mutually agree, that their respective enforcement 

officers will provide all aid and assistance possible to the law enforcement 

officers of the other party including reinforcement or "back-up" assistance 

and immediate response to crisis situations so that the nearest available 

office, whether City of Stroud or Nation, may respond as promptly as possible 

in situations where human life or property is apparently endangered 

irrespective of whether the possible crisis situation occurs within that 

party's primary service jurisdiction. Such assistance shall be freely 

requested and responded to in keeping with the intent of this agreement to 

better protect innocent lives and property to better provide law enforcement 

services for all persons, and to apprehend violations of the laws. 

7. The parties mutually agree that, insofar as their respective 

jurisdiction areas within the City of Stroud are "checkered-boarded" and their 

officers must necessarily pass through the other's jurisdiction in the 

performance of their respective duties, that such aid and assistance as may be 

necessary will be rendered by cross commissioned if one jurisdiction may 

apprehend within the other party's jurisdiction any person he observes in 

violation of the law of the other party's jurisdiction or for whom an 

appropriate arrest warrant has been issued and hold such person for delivery 

to a regular officer of the other jurisdiction as soon as may be reasonably 

practical under the circumstances, provided however, that neither the City of 

Stroud officers or the Sac and Fox Tribal officers have the authority to make 

traffic arrests within the jurisdiction of the other. 

8. The parties hereto mutually agree that when a cross-commissioned 

officer of one party provides aid or assistance to the other party the 

crosscommissioned officer will be under the general supervision of the ranking 

regular officer in charge of said other party while actively involved in 

providing such assistance and that the ranking officer of the party within 

whose territorial jurisdiction an incident has occurred shall have the 

responsibility to supervise and direct the crime scene investigation and other 

activities, due regard being had for the expertise of the various law 

enforcement officers which may be present or other wise involved. 

9. The parties hereto mutually agree that they will cause their 
City-Tribal Law Enforcement Services Agreement 

officers to make and file reports and other documents with the appropriate 

officials of the other jurisdiction when such officer has knowledge of the 

facts to be reported and such reports are needed by the other jurisdiction for 

the purposes of law enforcement, record-keeping, or prosecution of criminal 

offenders. The parties further agrees that they will freely allow and cause 

their officers to appear and give their testimony in the court of the other 

party for the prosecution of offenses upon request of the appropriate officer 

of that party. 

PROVISIONS RELATING TO EQUIPMENT 

10. Both parties recognize that each party has and may acquire certain 

specialized motor vehicles, tactical equipment , and other materials which 

the other party has not acquired, but which on occasion would prove useful to 

the other party in the furtherance of its law enforcement activities. As 

occasion arises, and when such specialized property is not expected to be 

needed by the party owning its, the parties agree to loan such property or its 

use to the other party along with an operator for such equipment if necessary, 

permission being first asked for and freely given. 

11. Whenever such equipment is loaned to a party, that party agrees to 

use such equipment exclusively for law enforcement purposes, and the purpose 

for which the loan was requested and granted, and to return said property 

promptly to the other party or as soon as reasonably practical. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 

12. The parties mutually agree that the officers of the parties may 

attend internal or "in-house" law enforcement training programs conducted by 

either party with the consent of their commanding officer and the party 

conducting such training in order to familiarize themselves with internal 

procedures, specialized law enforcement equipment, laws, and other pertinent 

matters relating to law enforcement within the jurisdiction of the other 

party. 

13. The parties mutually agree to provide notice to the other party, of 

changes in their operational policies, guidelines, and important changes in 

the law of their respective jurisdictions in order to facilitate communication 

and prevent unnecessary misunderstanding between law enforcement officers in 

the field. Further, the parties agree to notify each other of "in-house" 

training programs which are available for the officers of the other party to 

attend. 

14. Each party recognizes that this agreement does not waive or vary 

the standard extradition procedures necessary for the transfer of custody of a 

person from one jurisdiction to another, and that the regular extradition 

procedures will prevail. 
. . 

.. 

City-Tribal Law Enforcement Services Agreement 

15. This agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period 

of one year from the date hereof, and thereafter unless canceled by one of the 

parties with written notice to the other party. This agreement may be amended 

at any time in writing, and the parties agree to use their best efforts to 

negotiate any differences which may arise hereunder to the end that the public 

will be provided with best law enforcement services possible through the joint 

efforts of both parties.
